PGLAW 2017 Panjab University Entrance Exam With Answers

The correct inference drawn from the statement "Many smokers suffer from cancer" is B: Smoking may lead to cancer.

The statement implies that there is a correlation between smoking and cancer, but it does not necessarily mean that smoking always leads to cancer. Some smokers may not develop cancer, while some non-smokers may develop cancer due to other factors. Therefore, option A, "Smoking always leads to cancer," is not a correct inference.

Option C, "Most smokers get cancer," is also not a correct inference because the term "many" implies a large number of smokers suffer from cancer, but not necessarily most smokers.

Option D, "Most cancer patients are smokers," is also not a correct inference because the statement does not provide any information about the proportion of cancer patients who are smokers.

Therefore, the most accurate inference drawn from the statement is B: Smoking may lead to cancer.
